This November, let's make our classrooms more accessible by shining the spotlight on Google Chrome's cool tools! Live Captions are like having subtitles for everything, perfect for our ML listeners. Switching languages on Chromebooks is as easy as pie, helping our bilingual students feel right at home. Finally, Chrome Reading Mode turns any page into a cozy reading corner, perfect for those chilly fall days. These features make learning fun and inclusive for all of our students!
